Everaert III Leyniers (d. 1680) was the dean of the weaver's guild in 1635. A tapestry of identical subject was sold anonymously, Christie's, New York, 9 June 2009, lot 152, and another Christie's, New York, 24 November 2009, lot 256. Two tapestries with unidentified months but almost certainly from the same series were purchased from C. Lihme by French & Co in 1925 and sold to George H. Frazier the same year.
